Features: This book is a journal from George Island. Although you set off amidst the noise of the media and many people accompany you, your inner self remains calm, and your soul still journeys alone to the Antarctic. Only in a place far from the news can you have a true experience. If you merely look for news here with a journalist's eye, what you will find are only the trivialities among the transient residents, ignoring the Antarctic itself. But if you can face the ancient nature of the Antarctic quietly on your own, then the sea and islands, the penguins and seals, will all communicate with you in a tacit language. I had no goals, and wherever my steps took me, it was always desolate—sea, rocks, hills, ice, and moss. In my current recollection, the feeling of being alone amidst the eternal desolation is something worth cherishing.
